Mrs. Cleveland and GOV. Foraker

In an interview at Springfield, o., yester-
Associated Press, Gen. A. S. Bushnel, n
member of Gov. Forakcr's staff, authorized
the following statement concerning Mrs.
Clevelapd's reception of Governor and Mrs.
Foraker OF the Academy in Philadelphia
last Friday evening: Preceded by Gov.
Beaver, of Pennsylvania, and his staff, Gov.
aud Mrs. Foraker and our party advanced
TO be received Gov. Beaver and party
were warmly greeted by both the President
and Hrs. Cleveland, who shook hands with
them cordially. President Cleveland then
shook hands with Gov. Foraker, but his
face was rs expressioDless as that of

her. Gov. Foraker was the. introduced 10

straight at him without a sign of rec

sented to the President and Mrs. Cleveland,
and both shook hands with them, and i'm.
medistely afterward Mrs. Bushnell and my.
self were introduced and received in the
same cordial manner. The cut of Governor
and Mrs. Foraker was made moro direct by
our reception than it would have been had
Mrs. Cleveland not shaken hands with the
remainder of the Ohio party. It has been
stated that Mrs. Cleveland was not shaking
hands with any of her guests. but that is
great mistake, for she received both those
who preceded and those who followed Gov
ernor and Mrs. Foraker very cordially. Re-
greet was expressed on all sides that the in

felt that Mrs. Cleveland, as the first lady Of
the land, could not afford to snub the chief
magistrate of the third State in the Union.

THE MASSACHUSETTS democrats, follow
ing the wise example of their party in ohio'
have come long way back toward Inc
true principle of real democracy ON the sub
i .ct of the tariff. In State convention as
sembled yesterday, they made the following
declaration
"Wo believe that the power Of Congress to tax
the people is limited by tho Constitution to the
requirements of the Government; that any sys-
tom If taxation which produces a revenue DO
You'd that is unwise and dangerous. 1t throws
unnecessary burdens on the people and enhances
the cost OF living it encourages needless aud eX-
travsgant appropriations by Congress- and by
withdrawing from general circulation money that
should DO employed, and embarrasscs trade, ard
may be the cause of disastrous financial crisis We
do not dyocate FREQ trade, but favor and desire
revision of the present unjust and burdensome
tariff laws we heartily approve of the following
recommendation of the President: y he increas-
lug and unnecessary surplus should be released to
the people by an amendment to cur revenue laws
which shall cheaper the price OF the necessaries
of life and give freer entrance to such imported
materials as may be manufactured into market
able commodities We believe the income do

The Wages O" Women.

There is sOmcthir wrong about that
civilization which cOmpeIs woman to
work sixteen hours per day far six DAYS
in a week in order TO earn 3. 30. Un-
fortunately there are women in the
large cities who have to work in this
way. 1t is hard for people who have
the means of supplying their daily
wants to realize that amy of their fellow
beings are doomed to a life of darkness
and grinding poverty such as these
women endure.
That women are in many cases I'M
derpaid Tor their services as 6eamstress-
es and as saieswomen in stores Is I'M
questionably true. Hard-heartcd as a
stone and cruel as a serpent is the man
who will eXtOrt a profit from the power
ty OF the women who work for him.
But it would be folly to seek the cause
u this evil in nothing but the tlnty-
heartedness of employers. The trouble
Is due, not to the form Of government,
nor 10 the organization OF society, but
to the civilization which drives women
by the score into certain employments
and keeps them out of others.
When a dry-goods merchant may
take his choice from among twenty ap-
plcants for work at So per week it is
not expected that he will insist upon
paving SO. The number of competi-
tors in certain lines Of work reduces the
wages. Women will work for starva-
ton wages in a store or at sewing rath-
er than secure a comfortable living by
doing homework.
There is something wrong about civil
ization which teaches a woman that is
is more honOru BILE TO sew sixteen hourt
a day for starvation wages than it is to
secure a comfortable living in domestic
service. There are undoubtedly hun
dreds of women and girls working in
stores or as seamStresseS who nave not
one whit more refinement, and are not
in any respect better educated than
girls who are employed as servants in
households. But the former hold them
selves far above the latter. The clyiii-
cation is wrong which teaches young
girls and women TO make distinction
OF this kind.
1t is also a wrong civilization which
teaches young women whose parents are
well able to provide for them and who
are surrounded by the comforts of home
me tldi lucN are III uulN Doun" 10 90
ont into the world and compete with
their less fortunate sisters IN the strug-
gle for living. Home life and home
work constitute the proper sphere for
every woman, and it is q false philoso-
phy which teaches anything else. The
woman, whether married or unmarried,
VINO cannot i've ut home and find en-
p.0yment in home work is unfortunate.
BHy the unhappy condition of these I'M
ioTJuuates is rendered all the more un-
happy by the competition of girls who,
although they have comfortable homes,
wil, for the sake of earning 4 pittance
OF pin money. seek employment as
.'Salcsiad!es." or clerks. or seamstresses.

The Eton Block Club.

In the ''good old times,' Eton boys
used TO get into great scrapes when
they went poacbng in Windsor Park
sometimes they were caught. One dark
night two of them had planned fine
excursion. One of them-he was after
ward cabinet minister of Great
Britain-was getting out Of his window
very quietly, thinking he heard his
friend below waiting for him.
rs all right?' he whispered.
Right as my left legm answered a
voice, and the boy dropped into the
arms of the head-master
DR.. Keate hogged more than eighty
boys at one time They were tifth-form
boys, and they Lad started a little re-
bellion against the doctor So he had
the tutors bring them to him, Two or
three at time, after they had gone to
bed, and he took 'em one by one; it
was after midnight before he was
through. Wei, ut last the old tiogging-
block itself was carried off. That was
when Dr.. Hawtrey was master. One
morning-it was the day after boat
race against Westminster-a lot of the
boys were sent up to his room to be
1ogged; but the block wasn't there, nor
the birch, neither.
Three Of the boys managed to get the
block out in the night, and sent it up to
London. 1t was the seat of the presi-
dent of the ''Eton Block Club" up in Lon
don for long time. Nobody could
belong to that club who hadn't been

NIiIIet as an ART Student.

One of Mlllet's boy friends and COM
| panIOns knew him first in the city of
CherbouTg, a few miles from the artists
birthplace, the city where he received
his first lessons in art He had heard
how the young peasant Millat tried to
initiate the epgravings in his Bible dur
ing the MONDAY rest. how he drew the
figures ABOUT him, and covered the
fences with sketches. until his father
took him to Cherbourg ITO see whether
he could make living by this busi-
ness" When the artist to whom thew
went saw Millet's drawings. he said 10
the father: You must be Joking.
That young man there did not make
these drawings all alone.
And when convinced that they were
| really the boys work, ne exclaimed:
''Ah, you have done wrong 20 keep
him so long without instructions, for
your child has in him the making of Il
great artist"
Presently the municipal council of
Cherbourg awarded Mllet meager
pension that he might study art in
Paris. But the councilmcu expected the
artist, in return. to send back large
paintings 10 the city museum. They
| became angry ut his delay; and he
finally. bought an immense canvas. and
IN three days painted a picture of
Moses breaking the table of stone. He
vanished it at once aud sent it TO the
museum. But as the picture was var
nished before the paint had dried. it
soon began to crack. Now the picture
looks so old that some of the good peo-
pie take il for a painting bV Michael
Angelo. Then the cOuncilmeu asked
Millet to paint a portrait of the MAYOR.
who had recently died. Allet lad
never seen him; bu. from an old minia-
ture likeness he painted beautiful pol-
trait, the face seen in a three-quarters
front view. Wishing models for the
hands, Mlilet found man in the neigh
borhood who had finely shaped hands.
This man, as it happened, had been
imprisoned for some oiense. When
the portrait was finished and shown to
the couucilmen, they sent for Miilet and
told him that they were greatly dis
pleased. The likeness was good. they
said, but there We're two grave faults:
The artist mad painted only 4 three
quarters view OF the late mayor, where
rs his honor invariably entered the
council chamber facing straight for
ward; and. secondly. it was shameful
to have used the hand of a man who
had been in prison as the model for the
hand of a man so good as the late
mayor. Poor Miiet There was moth
inc for him 10 say to people so simple
and ignorant rs these.-Rtpieg Hitch

Lincoln Oh Qnarrels.

After telling of the Shields duel in the
January Century, Nicolay and Hay give
the following: This was Mr.. Lincoln 5
last personal quarrel. Although the
rest Of his life was passed in hot and
earnest debate, he never again descend
ed TO the level Of his adyersaries, who
would gladly enough have resorted to
unseemiv wrangiiug. In later years it
became his duty to give an official
reprimand to young OIL .er who had
been cOurt-martialed for n quarrel with
one Of his associates. The reprimand
is probably the gentiest recorded in the
annals of penal discourses, and itShOws,
in few words, the principles which
ruled the conduct OF this great and
peaceable man. Ir has never before
been published, and it deserves to be
written in letters OF gold ON the walls of
every gymnasium and college:
The advice of a father to his son,
Beware OF entrance to quarrel, but
being IN. bear It that the opposed may
beware of thee! is good. but not the
best. Quarrel not at all. No man re-
solved to make the most of himself can
spare time for personal contention.
Still less can he afford 10 take ali the
consequences. including the vitiating of
his temper and the loss Of self-cOntJol.
Yield larger things to which you can
show no more than equal right; and
Weld lesser ones though clearly your
own. Better give your path to a dog
than be bitten by him in Contestinr for
the right. Even killing the doc would
not cure the bite"
